 | System.TimeZone gets wrong daylight saving time for the Jerusalem time zone on Windows Vista |
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows Vista, DateTime.Now will be off by one hour in the Jerusalem time zone during months that contain Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions
When using the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows Vista, DateTime.Now will be off by one hour in the Jerusalem time zone during months that contain Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions. For example, in 2007, DateTime.Now incorrectly reported DST starting 5 days early (March 25 instead of March 30) and will incorrectly report DST ending 14 days late (September 30 instead of September 16). .NET applications running on Windows Vista in the Jerusalem time zone during these periods, such as Windows Media Center, will be off by one hour.
This update fixes System.TimeZone to work properly with the fixed-date time zone rules used by the Jerusalem time zone on Windows Vista. Once the update has been installed, DateTime.Now will return the correct time during months that contain DST transitions.
